Revere Dome is Now the Revere Cylinder

As posted yesterday on flickr by keylimesteve. The speed of the Revere demolition by the crew dispatched by developer Joe Sitt and Thor Equities seems to be picking up speed. The last of the dome has been removed and the iconic Revere Dome is now the very sad Revere Cylinder. "Cylinder being stripped away piece by piece on the former Revere Sugar Refinery," Steve writes. "There are very few distinguishable characteristics remaining of the long-standing icon that was once synonymous with Red Hook."
